FEMALE EDUCATION.

What the Prussian Minister of Education
Has to Say Abont It.
Minister Won Gossler presided over
the tenth annual congress of teachers
in high schools for girls at Berlin, at
which about five hundred teachers
were present. In his opening address,
Herr Won Gossler discussed female
education in general, and stated that
the chief difficulties connected with
the instruction in girls schools are
two: First, there are still great
many men and women who hold tn at a
girls character, and the emotional
part of her nature. are the only things
that require developing, but that the
intellectual side may be left to
chance; second, society is at pres
emit in such a state that the
question, What will become of
our daughters?' is uppermost in the
minds of the parents and of all true
friends of the people. The serious nat
ure of these problems has often led to
attempts at introducing things into
girls schools which do not belong to
them, and at putting girls in every re-
speet upon an equality with boys. As
Teutons and as Christians we must
ever hold that woman has equal rights
with man, but on physiological grounds
she is not the same in nature as man.
Hence the aim of education should be
to recognize this diversity of charac-
teristics. and to build accordingly. 1t
must also be remembered that
the school has no claim on girls
for as long period as on boys
a difference which is based in
part on the natural difference OF sex.
and in part on time-honored custom.
The principles on which woman IN
Germany has been developed, and
which are rooted in our nature, must
be preserved and handed to our de-
scendants as intact as we found them.
Woman here, the center of all Chris
tian, humane and ideal thoughts Is
rightly considered with US as the center
of the home and the family. The best
men and women of all times have al

Therefore our endeavors must be to
hand down the nature of woman, with
all the projections inherent in it, I'M
altered to future generations Wom-
an belongs to the home, and must live
for it; her share in art and science
must always be looked upon as sec
ondary consideration. At later
period of the session. Herr Wubchen-
Oldenburg, director of high school
for girls, offered a resolution stating
that the object of education for girls
should be to train woman to be the
helpmeet of man, intellectually as
we'll as otherwise. He claimed that
..this aim is not attained-often it is
made impossible-through the in

taught, which leads to SUI
perficial knowledge. Hence the sub
ject matter of the studies is to be re-
stricted rather than extended. 1t might
well lose in breadth in order to gain in
depth. The school course ought to re-
main as it W as fixed at the meeting of
1873, from the end of the sixth to the
end of the sixteenth year. The new
plan of studies ought to be tried pro-
visionally in Berlin before applying it
to the country at large" The result
of the discussion seems to be that the
number of school hours, at least for
the four lower classes, should be di-
minished, the subjects now taught
should be rearranged, and more time
should be allowed for bodily exercise.

At a recent New York wedding a tin

sheet of paper containing the autographs
of all present, a list Of the gifts received,
photographs of bride and groom, piece

dress, one of her gloves, some of the
orange blossoms, and every thing else OF

His Last Request.

Many long years ago old Spork sent
an article to one of the leading maya.
zines, which was promptly accepted
and paid for. Since that time Spork
has bought magazine every month in
the expectation of seeing his article in
print, and has already squandered in
this manner o very substantial fortune
but the article has not appeared.
The other day he sat down and wrote
the following letter to the editor of the
magazine:
"My once princely fortune is squan-
dered in buying copies of your maya
zine, in the expectation of seeing nv
article, written sixty-three years ago,
in the v!gor and buoyancy of my youth,
published therein. My health is bro
ken; my hopes are blasted; [ feel the
near approach of death. These are
trifes, you may say, but they affect me {;
and consequently I wish you to heed
the request of dying man. I am 81
years of age, and cannot possibly live
another year. At most I can buy but
three or four copies more of your mag
azine; and SO you cannot make another
dollar by withholding the publication
of my article. AS o further induce
ment to publication I will refund the
amount of the original check paid for
the article, provided it is published be-
fore my death. Yours respectfully,

There's Nothing Like Leather.

The day will come when the present
mode of protecting the foot of the
horse will be discovered to be mis-
take. Its horny substance was never
intended to he pierced by nails. No
wonder that so many horses fall lame
and are perpetually ruined. We were
recently shown horse shod in leather.
It struck us as an excellent idea and
worthy of adoption. We should not
be surprised to learn that leather shoes
had superseded shoes of iron. If,
however, iron be necessity, let it be
nailed on the leather shoe. Now, shoe
makers. please get up neat set, and
show them to oil your horsey friends.

them till you have overcome their pref
udices. When you have succeeded,

of Cruelty to Animals for medal, and

content to know that you have done
more good than the society in question
